The Legislative Quality Index: How We Score Every Draft Law Out of 100
Five published criteria weigh drafting quality, constitutional consistency, alignment with national strategy, social impact, and feasibility — inside the first Arab index of its kind.
When a new draft law is tabled, the citizen's first question is: what will change in my life? The specialist asks: how sound is this text? The Legislative Quality Index answers both with a single published methodology.
Each draft receives a score out of 100 across five criteria: drafting quality (20%), constitutional and legal consistency (25%), alignment with national strategy (25%), social and economic impact (20%), and feasibility (10%). Scores are issued by an independent expert panel reviewing the text article by article.
The goal is not to hand out certificates but to ground public debate in criteria rather than impressions — turning legislative evaluation from scattered opinions into an accountable, discussable method.
